The first time the marble steps filled the child’s eyes with awe was because of a svelte actor, now Mr. Smith and his inspirational attitude.

The second time the steps filled the teen’s eyes with awe was in watching a speech of one man’s dream, a dream, the teacher said, could become a reality.

The third time the steps filled the college student’s eyes with awe was while ascending them, remembering the meaning, message of the man memorialized in marble.

The fourth time the steps filled the grown child’s eyes with awe was in seeing their own child’s widen so.
